Roseann Smith, LCSW

Roseann Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a licensed mental health professional trained to help people navigate emotional, behavioral, and relationship concerns. She has over 15 years of experience providing therapy to individuals and couples in Virginia, with recent work focused on addiction and co-occurring behavioral health needs.

Her background includes supporting people living with severe mental illness, including bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, with an emphasis on building practical coping strategies for day-to-day stability. She also has training and experience in trauma work, helping clients recognize the impact of trauma and identify resources that can lessen the intensity of trauma-related feelings. Because substance use and trauma often overlap, she is comfortable addressing both at the same time when that is relevant to a client’s story and goals.

Earlier in her career, Roseann worked in a college student counseling center and gained insight into the challenges many young adults face, including relationship stress, family conflict, and the pressures that come with transitioning into adulthood. She draws on this broad clinical experience to meet clients where they are and help them move toward meaningful change.

Roseann’s approach is friendly and heartwarming, with a lighthearted presence that can help sessions feel more approachable. She incorporates motivational and strengths-based strategies, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. When helpful, she collaborates with clients to set between-session goals based on steps they identified in session as supportive ways to move forward.
